	Let's wait for thread one to finish so that we know
	exactly where all of our values are coming from.
	Remember, these threads are asyncronous. In fact, they
	might not even execute in the same order in which they
	were defined.

	Join the second thread to the current page process.

	executing (and in the same order as they were declared).
